今天凌晨，拼多多平台上出现巨大漏洞，用户可以任意领取100元无门槛抵用券，网传拼多多因此损失数额超过200亿元。
什么意思？领到优惠券的，不用四舍五入也=不用钱啊，大量的用户借此机会“薅羊毛”，用来充值大量Q币和话费。
今天中午，拼多多官方发出了关于“黑灰产通过平台优惠券漏洞不正当牟利”的声明，表示被黑灰产团伙盗取数千万元优惠券已报案，目前漏洞已经修复。
下面我们来看看相关报道。
Chinese online group discounter Pinduoduo Inc said on Sunday that an online collective exploited a loophole on its platform to “steal” tens of millions of yuan worth of discount vouchers.
In a statement on its official Weibo account, Pinduoduo said it immediately rectified the bug and reported the incident to police.

loophole & bug
○ loophole表示“（协议或法律的）漏洞，空子，破绽”，英文解释为“A loophole in the law is a small mistake which allows people to do something that would otherwise be illegal.”如：tax loopholes 税法的漏洞，a loophole in the law 法律上的一个漏洞，举个：

此外，bug还有“窃听器”的意思，英文怎么解释窃听器呢？A very small device fixed on to a phone or hidden in a room, that allows you to listen to what people are saying without them knowing.

vulnerability名词，其形容词性：vulnerable；vulnerability表示“易伤性；易损性；弱点；脆弱性”，此处可以直接解释为“漏洞”，英文解释为“the quality of being vulnerable (= able to be easily hurt, influenced, or attacked), or something that is vulnerable”，举个：
